Artist Funding Opportunities Vol. 5

• South Jersey Cultural Alliance | SJCA Artist Micro-Grant deadline is Saturday, October 7th at 11:59 PM | Apply Now!
• Hamilton Street Gallery | Call for Artists: Stardust Exhibition | One of my favorite places to go is the Adirondack Mountains. At over 5,000 feet up, the pine scented air is noticeably cleaner, and with less light pollution, much clearer to view the beautiful scenery. As night falls, millions of stars light up the sky. Some twinkle brilliant white, while others, depending on their temperature, radiate blue, red, orange or yellow. Late summer brings on a burst of celestial activity with meteor showers, disguised as shooting stars. Fascinated, time passes, pinpointing planets and con- stellations with mythical names and stories like Cassiopeia, forever embodied in a chair. Pointing due North, is Polaris or North Star, a bright yellow super giant that, for centuries, has been a constant beacon guiding explorers and travelers of all kinds to their destinations. Just as it was a reliable resource for escaped slaves finding a safe route north through the Underground Railroad, it is viable today for those lost or seeking asylum. | Stardust is a juried theme exhibition open to a variety of interpretations. All media is eligible for acceptance. | Application | Deadline: October 8, 2023
